  • “Harbor Road near Loves Lane, Paget;
  • “Middle Road near Stadium Lane at Esso Service Station, Warwick;

“Also dependent on the weather, on Thursday, 9 September 2021, between 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, the section of Harbour Road located between Highwood Lane and Lover’s Lane in Paget will briefly close to all traffic to facilitate a concrete pour for the new wall construction. Road users are advised to detour onto Middle Road and South Road during this time as traffic will not be allowed to pass.

“The Ministry will be providing traffic controls to minimize disruptions as much as possible. However, the motoring public is advised to consider potential traffic delays when planning for travel time.

    Not sure which brain surgeon would allow so many road works, with some many traffic lights at one time across the island. Geez we know anything govt does work will go on for ever….
    Probably the same genius that put those STUPID rumble strips down, they do more harm then good.

    The delays on Harbour Rd are a disgrace. Think of the thousands of hours of productivity lost.

    Workers are never there, they have traffic lights on some mornings and evenings, when they clearly need a manual sign. This morning W&E finally showed up at 7.50 by which time lines were queuing back to Warwick.

    Will the Minister please fix this. What an unnecessary waste of people’s time.
